Product catalog summary
Overview: The document is a comprehensive guide on selecting medical air systems, focusing on various configurations and technologies such as oil-less scroll, oil-less reciprocating, and enclosed scroll systems. It emphasizes compliance with NFPA99 standards and highlights the features of Powerex systems.
Control Panel Features: The control panels are NFPA99 compliant and UL508A listed, housed in a NEMA 12 enclosure. They include features like automatic lead/lag pump alternation, reserve pump alarms, and redundant control circuit transformers. Additional features include motor circuit breakers, run hour meters, and remote alarm monitoring capabilities.
System Description: Powerex medical air systems include multiple compressors, an ASME receiver, a UL listed control panel, and an air purification system. They are available in Modular Skid Mount, Modular Enclosed, and Horizontal Tank Mount configurations, all manufactured in ISO9001 certified facilities.
Air Receiver: The system includes an ASME stamped receiver rated for a minimum of 150 PSIG MWP, equipped with a pressure gauge, relief valve, and electronic tank drain. It is internally lined with FDA approved material for corrosion resistance.
Desiccant Air Purification System: Features redundant desiccant dryers, filters, and monitors for dew point and carbon monoxide. The system uses a pressure swing adsorption cycle for drying, with cycle times adjustable based on mode.
Refrigerated Air Dryers: Non-cycling, direct expansion type using R-134A refrigerant, with features like hot gas by-pass, copper tube heat exchangers, and timed electric condensate drain.
Oil-Less Scroll Technology: Introduced by Powerex in 1989, these compressors are known for their compact design, energy efficiency, and low maintenance. They feature a rotary design with self-lubricating seals and no gearbox, ensuring 100% oil-free operation.
Innovations: The latest scroll pump design includes durable cast iron bearings, a patented bearing re-grease feature, and improved cooling for lower operating temperatures.
System Configurations: Detailed dimensions and specifications for duplex, triplex, and quadplex systems are provided, with options for desiccant or refrigerated dryers.
Why Powerex? Powerex is a vertically integrated company, ensuring quality control at every stage of manufacturing. They offer extensive support through a network of over 220 authorized service centers worldwide.
Accessories and Options: Includes PBMI controls, dew point dryers, activated carbon filters, and various receiver sizes.

Medical Air - Reciprocating Piston-3

Desiccant air purification system: Each system is provided with a redundant set of desiccant dryers, filters, regulators, and safety relief valves. Dew point and carbon monoxide monitors with alarms are provided to continuously monitor the air quality. Each dryer contains two vessels filled with moisture adsorbent material. The dryer uses a fully automatic pressure swing adsorption cycle in which one tower is online in a drying phase while the other is offline, either regenerating or waiting for its next drying phase. The towers alter- nate between phases based on either time or dew point status,...
